Joe Foss NO. 1 Ace
By Robert H Myers - Originally Published June 1943
His name might be just plain Joe Doaks. It happens to be Joe Foss -Captain Joseph Jacob Foss of the Marines.
As every Marine knows, he's the greatest pilot today in World War II. Twenty-six Japanese planes have plummeted to burning destruction before the deadly firing of this ace of aces.
But back of this unequaled, unapproached record is another story --the story of an average American boy to whom war and killing and violence in the skies a decade ago was something he had heard about in the tales echoing from the last world conflict.
Life to Joe Foss ten years ago was the simple, easy one of, say, the boy you went to high school with; the boy with whom you double-dated; the contented, modest lad who worked his way through college; the chap who wondered and worried a little about the future and what job he should tackle when the time came to grow up and settle down.
Ordinarily Joe Doaks and his friend Joe Foss didn't dream that in another ten years either would be blasting his way to fame in the wake of belching machine guns, strapped in the cockpit of a lightning-geared Grumman Wildcat roaring through space over a blood stained island named Guadalcanal. It's a safe bet that in those days Joe Foss, fresh from the quiet farming country of Smith Dakota, had never heard of Guadalcanal.
No, in those peaceful years Joe Foss, soon to grow into a strapping, 175-pound, six-footer with a twinkle in his blue eyes and a reserved modesty in his bearing, was more familiar with a tractor or a of horses than he was with an airplane.
He was one of three children -Joe, his younger brother Clifford and a sister Flora May- born to Mr. and Mrs. Frank Foss, who owned a farm on the rolling land just east of Sioux Falls. In high school Joe was popular and he played a baritone saxophone in the school band. He didn't play too well, though, chiefly because he always seemed to get a little stage fright when he had to appear in public.
Joe finished Sioux Falls high school and then went to the local college for two years. His progress and interests there were no different from any other college boy, but one very significant thing happened, he met a pretty girl. Her name was June Shakstad. Yes, they were married -but many things happened before that event was celebrated in 1942, some three weeks before Joe shoved off for the zone of battle. For one thing, Joe decided to continue his schooling at the University of South Dakota. He was just an average student. and well liked. He joined a fraternity. Sigma Alpha Epsilon, and lived the typical life of a college boy before graduating in June of 1940.
He probably didn't realize it, but graduation meant a bigger change to Joe and his classmates than anyone might have imagined a few years before. Joe was graduating into a world already well enveloped in the flames of war; flames which Joe and the members of the classes of '40 would see and feel all too soon.
Six years before Joe had taken his first taste of flying in an airplane. He had been up several times in a crate owned by a Smith Dakota farmer who had a unique system of assessing a fee for a ride. If a passenger made the pilot stop stunting, the passenger had to pay for the ride. If he didn't yell "Uncle," the ride was free. Joe took all the loops and spins the venerable craft could negotiate-it's a wonder it didn't fly apart in mid-air-and yelled for more thrills. Joe fell in love with flying. That was why upon graduating, he thumbed his way to Pensacola. Fla., signed up for Marine Corps aviation and began preliminary training for the second lieutenant's commission he was to win in March of 1941. Joe, or Lieutenant Foss. was a natural. Soon he was an instructor for other fledgling students. In May of 1942 he made first lieutenant, and then spent six weeks with a reconnaissance group at San Diego before going with the Aircraft Carrier Training Croup at North Island to become a fighter pilot.
Life's tempo gradually speeded up. In August Lieutenant Foss joined a fighter group and a few days later he and his college sweetheart were married. That was on August 9 and on September 1, the two bars of a captain on his shoulders, Joe went aboard a transport with his outfit.
Blood, sweat, mud, and tears awaited Captain Foss, and so did fame. Joe asked for everything except the fame.
Captain Foss and his outfit brought the wheels of their Wildcats down on Henderson Field early in October. It didn't take long to appreciate what they were in for. A runway that easily became a quagmire in the South Pacific rains; mosquitoes, oppressive beat. The men slept in tents when they weren't forced into foxholes. There were tropical insects in the air and Japanese pests sniping from the trees. And there were raids by air and nightly bombardments by Nip warships off the Guadalcanal coast.
Captain Foss got the first plane of his amazing string of 26 four days after reaching Henderson Field. "One made a pass at me and I blew him to hell," he reported laconically. His plane was disabled by two cannon shots and he was forced to dive from 22.000 feet for a dead stick landing. Joe Foss had been baptized. The next day he flew out and bagged his second victim.
The young captain had only begun, He started proving what his training superiors had told his bride. "He can outshoot and outfight his instructors," they said. On October 18 Foss outshot and outfought three more Jap pilots, two days later two more were blasted out of the sky and on October 23 Joe Foss sent four Nips crashing to destruction.
Came Sunday, October 25. Foss and his "boys" dragged wearily out of their foxholes and went into the air when the Zeros came into range. Foss and three others took on six. Foss got two, one of his men got another, and they came in to refuel. Back up they went, the same four, only now they tangled with nine Zeros. Foss got three. More Zeros came into the fight, with bombers trailing behind. One of Foss' planes had been so riddled he had to take it down and get another. One of his men ran out of ammunition but it didn't faze him. He rammed a Zero head-on and parachuted to the earth.
When the score was counted later that day the squadron had bagged 17 Zeros and five bombers.
There was a comparative lull in air fighting until November 7. Then, as the popular phrase goes, all hell broke loose again. Foss added three more Japs to his toll-and got his plane so full of lead he had to bring it down on the shark-infested ocean. He managed to clear himself of the ship and swim to an island inhabited, luckily, by friendly natives. He was sick from swallowing salt water, and he was dog tired, but soon he recuperated and a rescue plane later picked him up. He said later, "I prayed more that night than I ever had before."
But back again with his "boys." Captain Foss discovered he was to be decorated. Admiral William W. Halsey arrived and pinned the Distinguished Flying Cross on Joe. Joe was wearing dirty, sweat-stained dungarees.
On November 23 Foss got No. 23 Jap, but a mosquito brought him down the next day with malaria. He was sent to Australia for a rest. The Australians feted him as a conquering hero. But Joe Foss wanted to go back to his men. So back he went, and once more again the magic of his flying and direction began to tell. On January 1, when America rested, attended post-season football games and perhaps wondered about the boys on Guadalcanal. Captain Foss came back-to sleep again in the mud of a foxhole with his "boys."
On January 6 Foss' flight brought down six Zeros, raising its score to 63. and ten days later Captain Foss got his last three Japs in the Guadalcanal campaign. Twenty-six planes. It tied the count set by Eddie Rickenbarker in World War I.
But that isn't all to the flying feats of Captain Joe Foss. There was a greater day to come; one that brought him no additional Japs, but gave a striking picture of this honest, duty-pledged man from the South Dakota farmland.
The date was late in January. The situation was critical for the Americans in the Solomons. Brave Marines on the ground were writing a bloody page in the annals of the Corps -and the Japs launched an air attack designed to wipe out strategic, vital Henderson Field.
Forty Japanese fighter planes appeared in the distance. Behind, at a safe distance, waiting for the chance to move in and drop their earth-demolishing packages, were 30 or 40 bombers. To meet them went eight Marine Grumman Wildcats, led by Captain Joe Foss and four Army twin-tailed P-38's. Twelve American pilots against 70 or 80 Jap warplanes.
The spectacular drama in the skies was, for the most part, concealed in the clouds from the watchers below. A steady hum of angry motors, an occasional blast rumbling through the heavens, once in a while a peep of a Wildcat diving through space, that was about all. An hour and a half passed. Agonizing hours they were. Then the all-clear sounded, and back came the flight. One by one. The count continued. Watchers couldn't believe their eyes. Twelve planes -eight Wildcats - four P-38's- swooped in low and bumped to a halt on Henderson Field.
The Japanese aerial armada had been forced to turn tail and head for its base 400 miles away. Not a single bomb had been dropped. Not a single American plane had been touched. Four of the fighter ships of the enemy didn't go back. To Captain Joe Foss went all the credit. His generalship, his brilliance in aerial maneuver, had whipped the Jap threat.
It was Joe Foss' goodbye to Guadalcanal. It was a fitting farewell. But why didn't Joe Foss improve his score? Why didn't he get at least one Nip and go ahead of the Rickenbacker record? The Japs were there. They tried to lure him into a dogfight.
"My job," Joe Foss explained simply, "was to keep the bombers away, not to build up a personal score."
That was Joe Foss' way of doing things.

Mix-Style inner headphones
Punchy, controlled and balanced, these ear-borne fashion statements are a great propositionWrite your own review
- Great looks
- loads of colour options
- fast, attacking midrange
- fine, rich balance across the frequency range
- Not the last word in detail
- bass can get a tad overblown at high volume
Already boasting a huge cult following in Japan, these chunky green Mix-Style 'buds are another first for our testing rooms – and if it's a style statement you're after, it's a straight slug-out between these (which come in 16 different finishes) and the Nixon The Wires (which come in an equally mind-boggling 15).
Straight in with a blast of Van Halen's Amsterdam, we're met with a fast, attacking midrange – snare drums crack like they ought to, and the bass is tight and speedy at civilised volume levels.
The higher frequencies can get a little splashy in extremis, but they Mix-Styles have to be pushed for this to become a real problem. Switch gears to Jarle Bernhoft's C'mon Talk and they bounce along rhythmically, lending a rich quality to vocals and handling the fast, start-stop dynamics well.
Punch is abundant, remaining controlled where midrange takes over from bass, and that quality continues evenly up into the treble; nothing really sticks out as with many of the other rivals we've tested.
Negatives? That treble coarseness when provoked is a downer, of course, and they could be more detailed when it comes to solo vocals (Ani DiFranco's Not A Pretty Girl lacked the tinge of gritted-teeth frustration uncovered by the best here), but other than that there isn't a lot wrong with the Mix-Styles. Four stars it is.

Veteran Assistance Benefits
Veteran's Educational Assistance
Pfeiffer University is pleased to welcome veterans to the educational opportunities available through our institution.
Most veterans who served on active duty for more than 180 days, any part of which occurred after January 31, 1955, are generally eligible for financial support. In order to determine eligibility for educational benefits, veterans should call their local Veteran's Administration Office. Children of deceased or totally disabled veterans who are 18-26 years of age may be eligible for financial aid if death or disability of the parent was the result of service in the armed forces. Local Veteran Administration Offices can supply complete details.
Students eligible for educational benefits from the Veteran's Administration must file a statement of educational plans with the Veteran's Service Officer (VSO) in the Registrar's Office each academic year. The VSO is here to help the veterans, dependents, and service personnel receive the most efficient service in applying for their educational benefits.

IOWA CITY — While most everyone sees a 7-0 record and 33-game win streak, Steve Bergman sees a need for a lot of improvement. Come to think of it, maybe that's why Iowa City West is 7-0 and on a 33-game win streak.
"You're always happy to win, but we've got a lot of work to do," the notoriously hard-to-please West Coach said Friday night after his team's 69-39 romp over Iowa City High at the Trojans gym. "What I see in practice, I don't see out on the game floor … I don't know. We're just going to have to keep plugging away. A lot of people would like to have the problem of being 7-0 and winning by 30. But I see a lot of things we need to improve on."
Lighten up at least a tad, Bergy. West scored the first seven points of this one, led by 10 after a quarter, by 18 at half and was never seriously threatened.
"Obviously, you have to play almost a perfect game (to beat them)," said first-year City High Coach Don Showalter. "When you have three or four Division I (college) players, obviously they are going to make a difference in the game. They did."
But it's guys not named Dondre Alexander, Wyatt Lohaus and Jeremy Morgan that make this West club so good. Senior guard Austin Swank had a game-high 17 points, showing off a little inside game to complement his lethal outside game.
Sophomore swingman David DiLeo and junior center Chike Ukah added eight points each. Alexander (15 points) and Lohaus (10) also had double figures.
"Everybody thinks it's just our three main guys," said Lohaus, headed to UNI, as is Morgan. "Swank's about as good as any other player on any other team. He can really shot it. He's a good player."
"We have a lot of weapons, and as an opponent, you've got to decide (who to guard)," Bergman said. "I want my team to be unselfish enough to go where it's going to be a little easier. Some of the higher-scoring guys from last year are drawing a lot of attention. Some of the other guys are really playing well because of that."
City High (3-4) tried to slow tempo early, employing a delay game offensively. The problem with that strategy was that the Little Hawks couldn't score any points.
They didn't hit a field goal in the first quarter and had just 12 points at halftime. Super quick guard Lonnie Chester had 18 points, but no one else had more than seven and only five players scored.
"We missed some shots early," Showalter said. "If we had gotten some shots to go down early, I think it might have been a closer game."

CmdOption is a simple annotation-driven command line parser toolkit for Java 5 applications. Everything you need is (at least one) simple configuration object. Each field and method annotated with an CmdOption annotation will be processed. Based on this config, CmdOption is able to parse any command line, guaranteeing the declared specification. The result is directly stored in the given config object. When errors occur, CmdOption gives a meaningful error message. Generated output and validation/error message can be localized.
yuck is a command line option parser for C that works on a minimal set of dependencies - only a C compiler and the m4 macro processor are required. It supports all the standard use cases: GNU-style long options (--option), condensable short options (-xab for -x -a -b), and optional arguments to long and short options (--foo[=BAR]), multiple occurrence of options (-vvv). Most importantly, it does not depend on libc's getopt() nor getopt_long().

A primary responsibility of an event-driven application is to handle user events—that is, events generated by devices such as mice, keyboards, trackpads, and tablets. For most Cocoa applications, the Application Kit assumes the largest share of this work. It ensures that events generated by the mouse, keyboard, and other devices are routed to the objects best suited to handle them. It also implements dozens of user-interface objects such as controls and text views to respond to events in expected ways—for example, by inserting typed text or sending an action message. But often an application, especially an application with custom
NSWindow, or
NSApplication objects, finds that it must handle some events itself.
Cocoa Event Handling Guide explains how to handle events of all types in a Cocoa application. It provides conceptual background for the task-based chapters by describing the Cocoa architecture for dispatching and handling events, and by giving an overview of
NSEvent objects, which all event-handling code must deal with. Reading this document will give you a solid foundation for handling events in your Cocoa application.
Organization of This Document
This document includes the following chapters:
"Event Architecture" describes how events enter a Cocoa application, how they are dispatched to view objects, and how they are handled, sometimes after traveling up a chain of responder objects.
"Event Objects and Types" examines the Cocoa objects that represent events and surveys the types of events a Cocoa application can receive.
"Event Handling Basics" presents the fundamental tasks in event-handling code regardless of event type.
"Handling Mouse Events" describes how you can handle events arising from the user clicking or dragging the mouse.
"Handling Key Events" describes how you can handle events resulting from the user pressing keys on a keyboard.
"Using Tracking-Area Objects" explains how to use
NSTrackingAreaobjects to manage mouse tracking and cursor updates within regions of views.
"Handling Tablet Events" describes how to handle events generated by moving and manipulating a stylus over a tablet device.
"Text System Defaults and Key Bindings" discusses the mechanism for binding key combinations to action messages and describes various defaults that can be applied to Cocoa's text system.
The appendix "Using Tracking-Area Objects" covers the legacy API for mouse tracking and cursor updates. It explains how to set up tracking and cursor rectangles and handle the events that are subsequently generated when users move the mouse cursor into those areas.
See Also
The following documents are conceptually related to Cocoa Event-Handling Guide:
Text Input Management
Because view objects often redraw themselves in response to events, it is also recommended that you peruse Cocoa Drawing Guide.
The following sample code projects include illustrative event-handling code:
BoingX—mouse dragging, key events
CIAnnotation—mouse clicks, mouse dragging
Cocoa OpenGL—mouse clicks, key events
Color Sampler—mouse clicks, mouse dragging
Cropped Image—mouse clicks, mouse dragging
DragItemAround—mouse clicks, mouse dragging, keyboard actions
FunkyOverlayWindow—mouse tracking
ImageMapExample—mouse dragging, mouse tracking
People—key events
CircleView—mouse clicks, mouse dragging
ClockControl—responder related, keyboard actions
DotView—mouse clicks
Rulers—mouse dragging
SimpleStickies—mouse clicks, mouse dragging

Irresponsible DadComments274
this wiki
|Irresponsible Dad
|Character Size
|Medium (Primary);
Small (Secondary Character)
|Included in Happy Wheels since version
Irresponsible Dad is the third character addition to Happy Wheels. As the name suggests, he is an irresponsible father who allows his son to be taken into the dangerous world of Happy Wheels. Irresponsible Dad was the first Multi Playable Character added to the game, and the only one added in the original release. He wears a white helmet, similar to Segway Guy's, a turquoise collared shirt, a black belt, khaki shorts, black sneakers, and white socks. His son, officially named Irresponsible Son, is the third smallest character on Happy Wheels, the second smallest being Irresponsible Mom's daughter, and the smallest being Irresponsible Mom's baby. Both characters are controlled at the same time. He has brown hair and he wears an orange shirt, green shorts and red sneakers with white socks.
Default Controls
- Before Ejection
- Up - Accelerate
- Down - Reverse
- Left - Lean backwards
- Right - Lean forwards
- Z - Eject both Dad and son
- Shift - Eject Dad
- Ctrl - Eject Son
- Space - Brakes
- C - Change camera view between dad and son
- After Ejection
- Up - Straighten arms and legs
- Down - Curl into ball
- Left - Push all joints backwards excluding head
- Right - Straighten legs and press arms forwards
- Space - Grab
- His brake ability will kill him at high speeds. Many users demand for his brakes to work better, but Jim still hasn't responded to nor fixed this.
- There is a common glitch where when the his child dies, multiple red converse shoes will fall off instead of only two. This is explained in the 'ABOUT' section. The question asker adds at the end, "oh and check out this glitch (link)" Jim replies saying "Oh yeah, don't worry. It's not the programming, it's that I forgot to make the graphics for his footless shins."
- Sometimes, when you are going slowly your arms may break for no apparent reason. In the moments before this happens, large amounts of arm twitching and jolting are noticeable. His arms may break because of a high amount of tension he is putting on the handlebars. Your arms may also break if you are held in the same place by 5x5 circles for a long amount of time.
- When you are logged out of your Total Jerkface Account, Irresponsible Dad's speed decreases slightly.
- If the character's limb is severed and the tendon is showing when resetting a certain level, It will remain in the same spot when the level was reset but cannot be interacted with. This seems to be fixed.
- If the son is injured/killed and the level is reset, he may scream/moan. This seems to be fixed.
- A notable glitch is that Irresponsible Dad sometimes randomly rips in half, normally when he is already quite injured.
- Sometimes, upon hitting a object, or even just doing nothing, his head will pop off. It will remain attached to his body by the spinal cord.
- If your bike is upside-down and you drive backwards, your legs will tread very fast and most likely break.
- If you have no kid and you hold down and right your bike gets out of control (much like after flying with Wheelchair Guy).
- In the Level Editor, the crankset will not be shown on the bike.
- In the Demo Version of Happy Wheels, Irresponsible Dad and his son doesn't seem to have a pelvis, but his NPC does. Same with Segway Guy.
- Depending on how many times the actual character is killed, after restarting a certain level, his child makes gagging noises when a level is restarted. This glitch seems to have been fixed.
- When Irresponsible Son's leg is stuck on Irresponsible Dad, Irresponsible Dad will start twitching until the leg is removed off of him.
- Whenever Irresponsible Dad runs into an object at high speeds, one of his knees will bend backwards as he keeps going. This may result in his leg breaking in half.
- When going at high speeds on a loop, the child's seat may "fall behind" the back wheel, but will not actually detach from the wheel.
- Irresponsible Dad is a popular choice for a forced character. He is the most forced character, right next to Segway Guy, and Wheelchair Guy.
- As he appears on the Happy Wheels Shirts, Irresponsible Dad is thought by many to be the game's mascot, even though this place has (probably) already been taken by Wheelchair Guy.
- Irresponsible Dad is known for his exploitable maneuverability to 'fly' if enough skill is used. This can be achieved by holding the Up Arrow Key while rapidly tapping the Left and Right Arrow Keys back-to-back at the right time.
- He is noted to be almost twice his normal speed when he is on the bike's front wheel. This is due to the back wheel pushing weight forward. Because of the speed given by the front wheel, the driver/Irresponsible Dad itself is facing a risk of having either ripping in half, bursting its head or the body itself, especially when encountering a boost while doing the move.
- Irresponsible Dad says, "Damn it!", if his son is killed. He also screams "Ooh God!" if he gets ripped in half.
- The father is often called "Jason", which is not after Jason Schymick, this is just a coincidence.
- The dad seems to wear a helmet on his head while his son doesn't. This could be one of many signs why he's called "Irresponsible Dad".
- His son is believed to had made a cameo appearance in Divine Intervention. He is possibly the little demon boy with the helmet on, although Jim has not confirmed this. Also, in Divine Intervention he is wearing blue shorts, not green ones like he does in Happy Wheels.
- He was the first Multi Playable Character added to the game (the only one added in v1.19 and below and in the demo), the second being Moped Couple, the third being Santa Claus, and the fourth being Irresponsible Mom.
- His son's seat looks as though it is only attached to the back wheel.
- Irresponsible Dad, along with the Moped Couple and Irresponsible Mom, are the only characters with known relatives.
- The only noise that his son makes that is different to every other character except Santa Claus is that when his pelvis is crushed, he retches.
- Jim once mentioned giving Irresponsible Dad a jump feature similar to Effective Shopper, but he never did so. This is most likely because that would clone Effective Shopper since she has a similar leaning strength and a jump feature.
- Irresponsible Dad has a mustache.
- He was used as a placeholder character for the Akira Bike before it was deleted from the level editor.
- Irresponsible Dad is the second character with headgear, the first being Segway Guy, third being Explorer Guy, fourth being Santa Claus, the fifth being Pogostick Man, sixth being Irresponsible Mom, and the last being Helicopter Man.
- His son, according to Jim's YouTube account, is Segway Guy's voice sped up, but not all of the voices are from Segway Guy.
- He can sometimes break thick glass at strength of 10 in just a tap with the front wheel.
- As with other Multi Playable Characters, only the primary character (dad) can win via the Finish Line, though both characters can collect tokens.
- His son is weak enough that being blown by a fan can break his limbs.
- In 2007, a forum article entitled "Is Irresponsible Dad french?" was made which was answered by jim with "Yes." it was deleted 5 minutes later though, making it null and void.
- There are 2 badges that's dedicated to Irresponsible Son called the "Great Job, Timmy!" badge for making one edit on an article on this Wiki, and the "Just a Normal School Week" badge for contributing to the wiki for 5 days in a row.
- There is also a badge that's dedicated to Irresponsible Dad called the "Great" badge for making 25 edits on articles on this Wiki. The badge has been changed to "Irresponsible Dad"
- Jim was once in the forum asked if the character was gay, to which he replied "I dunno, he doesn't even have a penis."
- When the son tries to flip himself over while on his back by pulling himself, his arms break.
- Irresponsible Dad is the most forced character for obstacle course levels.
- The bike only has front wheel brakes, so braking while doing a back wheelie has no effect.
- Sometimes bumpy terrain can cause his son's chair to be knocked off.
- The character is often used in slam dunk levels where you dunk the kid.
- His vehicle prefers to be a BMX bike.
- Irresponsible Dad was the first character to have more than the standard 13 voices; he has 14.
- When going at high speeds on a loop, the child's seat may "fall behind" the back wheel, but will not actually detach from the wheel.
- He is assumed to be the husband of Irresponsible Mom, although Jim has not made any statements about any primary characters being related to each other in any way other than the Irresponsible characters and their children and the Moped Couple.
- Irresponsible Dad is forced in the second most amount of featured levels in the game (31), the first being Segway Guy.
- The son is the second character to not eject when his head comes off or gets destroyed, first being Wheelchair Guy.
- Irresponsible Dad literally can't collide with the back wheel while he's still riding it, even if he is leaning on it. His head will just go through it.
- There are no pedals on the bike.

Among the benefits children receive for learning via the arts are:
• Development of a rich imagination.
• Sharpened critical-thinking skills.
• Improved self confidence.
• Heightened abilities at language and other forms of communication.
• Enhanced memory.
• Richer social skills.
• Better coordination and motor skills.
And that's just naming a few.
None of the above was likely on the minds of about 25 third-graders seated on the gym floor at Golden Springs Elementary in Anniston two weeks ago. They were focused on a 19th-century story involving soldiers, fairies, a mouse king and a nutcracker.
Jessica Futral and Betsy Davis, two of the Knox Concert Series' valuable army of volunteers, visited the school to explain the details of "The Nutcracker" ballet.
Davis told the Christmastime story above the din of the gym's heater, which was working overtime on a cold and rainy Monday morning. Futral, a dancer in her mid-20s who has studied for more than 20 years, explained the nuances of ballet. Tips included when to applaud and when not to laugh, important lessons for energetic third-graders.
Posters showed scenes from the famous ballet. Here was Drosselmeyer holding court with the children at the Christmas party. There was the Sugar Plum Fairy in all her beauty and grace.
The Golden Springs third-graders took turns handling ballet shoes.
Futral even demonstrated a few dance moves to the music of "The Nutcracker."
Davis and Futral were seeding the clouds, as it were, preparing the students for what they would experience the following week. Over November and early December, the same demonstration was repeated for third-graders in classrooms across the county.
Last Monday and Tuesday, approximately 1,800 third-graders from Calhoun County, including those from Golden Springs, filed into the Anniston Performing Arts Center to watch the Alabama Ballet perform George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker."
During an intermission Monday morning, the house lights came up as directors of the Alabama Ballet asked the third-graders if they had any questions. Hundreds of hands shot up into the air. The faces of the children were beaming, and their heads with brimming with questions:
How does it snow on stage?
How does Clara's bed seem to move around on the stage by magic?
Do the Alabama Ballet dancers ever get hurt?
All the academic studies touting the benefits of an arts-based education were confirmed last week in the faces of 1,800 children.
This year marked a change for the Knox Concert Series, which began offering third-graders a chance to see "The Nutcracker" more than 25 years ago. In previous years, there weren't enough seats in the performance center to accommodate the number of third-graders in Calhoun County for one performance. Schools had to attend on alternating years.
Knox added a second performance this year, meaning that over Monday and Tuesday every third-grader in the county had a chance to see the famed ballet.
Such an undertaking wasn't cheap, however. The Knox Concert Series could use your help volunteering time or money or both. To learn more, visit www.knoxconcertseries.org, or send a message to Mandi King, 256-235-2553 or email@example.com.
The payoff for your investment is the joy in delivering the arts to third-graders. Psst, don't say anything, but it's good for them, too.

Evil erupted in a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, on July 20,
2012. Twelve people dead; 58 injured. We're all horrified.
One of the images of the last week is the alleged shooter's father
exiting a plane at DIA. I watched him and wondered, "What would you
say to your son?" Would you enter his jail cell with rage, tears,
confusion, or stunned silence? I can't even imagine.
And then it made me wonder: What do you say to a killer's parents?
Rage, tears, confusion, or stunned silence? Or why not compassion?
After all, aren't these people victims as well?
We've had experience in Colorado with these things. After the
Columbine shootings on April 20, 1999, people vilified the parents
who "should've known better." There was very little compassion for
them. They became pariahs in all the circles they would've turned
to for support in the past.
Dave Cullen wrote in his book "Columbine," about a pastor who
reached out in compassion to the Klebolds--parents of one of the
killers. Reverend Marxhausen, pastor of St. Phillip Lutheran
Church, let the Klebold family know he was available--and even
officiated at a service for their dead son.
Cullen wrote: "Don Marxhausen made some of his parish
exceptionally proud. That was their pastor--a man who could find
compassion in his heart for anyone. A man capable of consoling the
couple who had unwittingly produced a monster...Some of his parish,
and much of the community, was appalled."
It makes me wonder: What would I say to a killer's parents? What
would you say?

best restaurant in houston – My favorite restaurant in Houston
Horrible customer service – We ate there today for a co-worker birthday and were treated horrible by both the waiter and manager of Palazzo's. It was a complete disappointment to us as we have eaten there for many, many years but WILL NEVER return. Our waiter made an error and the manager came and let us know it was basically OUR fault. Not customer service AT ALL. Food not like it had been in the past either. Glasses never filled once emptied and just plain lazy service as well. Will be sure to pass this along to everyone I know.
This review does not reflect our commitment to customer service at Palazzo's. After looking into this, we found out: This customer called to preorder their food over the phone before they arrived. The manager explained that this is against our policy. The customer persisted that they wanted to preorder over the phone. The manager on duty obliged despite this being against our normal procedure. When the guests arrived (9 guests), a couple of guests were given the wrong panini sandwiches because the waiter did not take the order. We remade them to correct this. Separate checks were requested at the end of the meal and we explained we do not separate a check at tunch because it would take a waiter too long to separate 9 orders and the guests were in a hurry to begin with. Restuarants have policies for a reason...to insure good service. This is what happens when those policies are not followed...a vindictive unfair review despite "many, many years of service". - Palazzo's Owners
Always-abuzz neighborhood trattoria serves up fresh pizza and zesty Italian fare. – Authentic old-country pizzas and fresh salads top a long list of reasons to love this energetic, come-as-you-are bistro. Fiercely loyal clientele rave about Palazzo's consistent quality, attentive wait staff and reasonable prices. Lunch includes pasta, salad, pizza and sandwiches. For dinner, start with spinach artichoke dip, then check out tomato basil soup, lasagna, primavera, capellini pomodoro, chicken Canneloni or the Athena pizza (pepperoni, red onion, tomatoes, black olives and feta cheese). Well worth the short wait.
Excellent Italian Cuisine! Reasonable and GREAT Service – My husband and I had never tried Palazzos and on a late Sat night we found ourselves with two hungry 8-year-olds. We arrived Palazzos about 7:30 which was late for dinner. We were the only couple dining with children that late and were made to feel very comfortable. The food was just awesome! The girls had spaghetti which they devoured, I choose the crab cakes and chicken cannilloni. Absolutely delicious and extremely reasonable. We will so be back!
The best Italian food in River Oaks. – For an area of town that's notoriously snobby, Palazzo's offers friendly service and tasty food. The tomato mozarella salad is delicious, as are the pizzas.
User review by gcrain – I have been a regular customer since 1996 and have never been disappointed by this
restaurant. The roast chicken pizza is a culinary delight, the veal dishes are superb, and the pasta is magnifico! You can even bring your own wine but, the house chianti served in a half or full carafe is a remarkable value.
Great Date – My wife have been Palazzo's regulars for over a year now. If you like good food, great service and attention to detail...this is your place.
great great great – Out of town visitor - had a salad, pizza and bread pudding... all were FANTASTIC!!

A good UU Pokémon would be an understatement. It is top tier UU for a reason: it walls special hits over and over, takes physical hits moderately well, and supports your team with pseudo-passing moves such as Reflect, Light Screen, and Wish. It can switch into so many things in the UU metagame.
This is just about the only Hypno set you will encounter. It's your standard support Hypno that you will see around UU almost all the time. It can be an annoyance if you don't have things to faint this before it Thunder Waves your whole team and sets up a Reflect. If you're using this, you will most likely switch in on something that has the potential to use a sleeping move or hit you with a special attack. While not being much of an offensive guy, it takes special hits like few others in UU. Psychic and Seismic Toss both work. It really depends though, do you want something that can hit Pokémon such as Gligar harder, or being able to stop Pokémon with Substitute from setting up as easily? It's up to you and your overall team. If you use Protect, use it with Toxic to further stall turns, but both Toxic and Thunder Wave can be used with Reflect. Use Counter with Toxic, as well, because it really ruins a perfect prediction to have them fully paralyzed when you Counter, thus destroying the surprise.
This is pretty much the only other moveset you will encounter. Like the other moveset, switch into sleep moves and special attacks, use Substitute and Calm Mind, and Baton Pass them to a target Pokémon. It could work if you passed it to a fast Pokémon such as Electabuzz.
Other Options
Hypnosis could work to put Pokémon to sleep. Hypno definitely has the defenses to survive a miss or two, unlike many other Pokémon that learn Hypnosis. Light Screen helps because it protects the rest of your teams against Special hits without having to switch in Hypno. Fire Punch might work in very rare cases, but it'd be more fit if you battle against standard Pokémon such as Steelix and Metagross.
On both movesets, you will pretty much want to pump HP and Defenses. Try and get your Speed somewhere above 176 to beat Solrock and Lunatone. Put some EVs in Special Attack if you have Psychic.
Checks and Counters
Even with Reflect, Gligar and Ground Pokémon in general will switch into Hypno's Thunder Waves easily and get a free hit on whatever switches in. Banette is a bit risky because you don't want it to take a Thunder Wave, but it deals a ton of damage with its STAB Shadow Ball. Hidden Power Dark Grumpig says 'sup to Hypno as well by Substituting on the Thunder Wave and Calm Minding while Hypno is saddened.

HARRISONBURG, Va., Oct. 4, 2012 – Off to a 2-0 start in Colonial Athletic Association play, the James Madison volleyball team travels north this weekend to play its first road games of the CAA slate. JMU takes on Hofstra at 7 p.m. on Friday evening at the Hofstra Fitness Center before heading to Northeastern on Sunday for a 1 p.m. match at Soloman Court.
The Dukes are 2-0 in league play and 9-7 overall after downing George Mason 3-1 at home last weekend. They dropped the first set 25-22, but rebounded to win the match by set scores of 29-27, 25-15, 25-12. Senior outside hitter Danielle Erb (Tampa, Fla./Plant) recorded her team-leading eighth double-double of the season with 16 kills and 12 digs. She hit .325 for the match, committing just three errors in 40 attempts, adding two aces, and a season-high four blocks.
Sophomore middle blocker Lizzy Briones (Siloam Springs, Ark./Siloam Springs) contributed a .414 attack percentage with 15 kills against just three errors in 29 attempts. Briones also had two aces and three blocks, including two solo rejections. Freshman outside hitter MacKenzie Kleespies (Lincoln University, Pa./Avon Grove) came off the bench to add seven kills and seven digs in just three sets played.
Erb and junior libero Katie Daorai (Tampa, Fla./Plant) both enter this weekend's action with a chance to reach career milestones. Erb needs just 11 digs to become the 11th player in program history to accumulate 1,000 digs. When she reaches that mark, she'll be just the fourth player in school history to amass 1,000 digs and 1,000 kills. She currently ranks seventh in school history in digs with 1,154 and needs four to pass Karla Gessler (1997-00) for sixth.
Daorai is 29 digs shy of reaching the 1,000 digs plateau. She would be the third player to reach 1,000 digs this season, joining Erb and redshirt senior outside hitter Natalie Abel (Washington, Pa./Trinity). Daorai ranks second in school history in digs per set at 3.84, trailing only Jena Pierson (2004-07).
As a team, JMU ranks first in the CAA and 14th in the country in digs per set at 17.73. Six different players are averaging more than two digs per set, paced by Daorai at 4.77. Erb is second with 3.16 per set, followed by Niski (2.89), Kleespies (2.80), senior setter Megan Wiechmann (Sunland, Calif./Village Christian) (2.27) and Abel (2.17).
The NCAA released its first iteration of the 2012 Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) this week with JMU checking in at 170. Other CAA contenders include Northeastern at 91, Towson at 116, Hofstra at 159, William & Mary at 162, Delaware at 214, UNCW at 225, Georgia State at 257 and George Mason at 271.
The Pride won its first eight matches of the season and nine of its first 11 to get off to a hot start. They currently own a 13-9 overall record and a 1-2 mark in CAA play. On Wednesday, they dropped a 3-2 decision at Iona College after splitting a pair of home CAA matches last weekend against UNCW and William & Mary. HU lost to W&M 3-2 before rebounding with a 3-1 win against UNCW.
Offensively, Hofstra is paced by outside hitter Kelsie Wills who is averaging a CAA-best 4.56 kills per set. She is hitting .191 with 383 kills in 84 sets played while adding 184 digs, 48 blocks, 22 aces and 18 assists. Junior outside hitter Nikki Kinnier adds 3.45 kills per set and 62 blocks while outside hitter Emily Burke is averaging 2.39 kills per set.
Catalina Charry is averaging 8.64 assists per set as the team's primary setter with Kainoa Ocasek adding 2.76 assists per set. Kylee Maneja is averaging 4.15 digs per set from the libero position.
Kristina Hernandez is in her fifth season as the Hofstra head coach. She owns a 68-83 record with the team and is 117-164 in nine seasons as a head coach overall.
The Huskies are on a six-game winning streak entering the weekend and are 14-3 overall. They have not lost at home this season, posting an 8-0 record at Soloman Court, including a 3-0 record in CAA play.
Junior outside hitter Kelly Bacon ranks tops on the team in kills with 213 and 3.55 per set. She is hitting .240 on the season and has added 144 digs and 22 blocks. Sophomore Jillian Briner is hitting .328 with 151 kills, 339 assists, 99 digs, 35 blocks and 14 aces. Two other players are averaging more than two kills per set in middle blocker Nichole Kurz and outside hitter Janelle Tucker. Kurz is averaging 2.22 kills per set with Tucker contributing 2.17 kills per set.
Joining Briner at the setter position is Ina Kamenova. She is leading the team in assists with 6.52 per set. Libero Natalia Skiba leads the CAA in digs with 335, averaging 5.60 per set and is tops on the team in aces with 26.
Head coach Ken Nichols is in his 13th season with Northeastern. He owns a 236-148 record with the team. In 16 years as a head coach overall, Nichols is 289-188.
JMU has won three straight against Hofstra, but trails the all-time series 18-7. Prior to winning three straight, Madison had lost 11 straight against the Pride. The Dukes are just 1-11 all-time in matches played in Hempstead, N.Y., but won the most recent meeting there when they swept the Pride 3-0 in 2010.
The Dukes and Huskies have met 19 times dating back to 1984 with NU holding a slight 10-9 edge in the series. Northeastern has won the last two meetings, each by 3-2 scores. Since head coach Lauren Steinbrecher took over in 2010, JMU is 2-2 against NU by an aggregate score of 10-9 in favor of the Dukes. The series is tied 3-3 when games are played at Northeastern.

State House Bureau
AUGUSTA — Days after he resigned from the Maine Senate in 2011, David Trahan began lobbying his former colleagues on behalf of the Sportsman's Alliance of Maine.

Josh Tardy, a former Republican House minority leader, gave up his seat in 2010 because of term limits and soon began lobbying the Legislature for such clients as General Motors and Central Maine Power Co.
And not long after losing his re-election bid for the Maine House in 2010, Benjamin Pratt began lobbying on wind power legislation for Friends of Maine's Mountains.
The "revolving door" between the State House and lobbying offices would be closed by a bill that was heard Wednesday by the Legislature's Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Jarrod Crockett, R-Bethel, would impose a one-year waiting period before former lawmakers could go into lobbying.
Crockett said the bill is aimed at good governance and not motivated by any individual.
"We run the risk of suggesting impropriety on the part of what could be an entirely harmless situation by digressing now into specific instances," he said. "It is more important to keep this bill pointed to the loftier and nobler goals of giving citizens greater confidence in their government by avoiding even the look of impropriety in future Legislatures."
But Tardy, who did not testify at Wednesday's hearing, said in an interview that the bill is "a solution that's looking for a problem."
Trahan, who also didn't testify, said in an interview that he would be uncomfortable excluding some people from lobbying without evidence that they have done wrong.
"I think we should look at a person's honesty, integrity and ability to work with people. That, to me, matters more than waiting periods," said Trahan, who will lobby lawmakers as they consider a bill to shield previously public records on holders of concealed-weapon permits.
An amendment to Crockett's bill would authorize the state ethics commission, which administers the state's lobbyist disclosure law, to oversee the one-year prohibition on lobbying and empower the commission to assess $1,000 fines for any violations.
Maine law now defines a lobbyist as anyone who is compensated for influencing legislation and spends at least eight hours a month doing so.
In a memo to the Veterans and Legal Affairs Committee, Jonathan Wayne, executive director of the ethics commission, said "we see no problems administering the proposed restriction."
Maine is one of 15 states that have no revolving-door laws for legislators, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Most states have one- or two-year periods during which former lawmakers are barred from lobbying.
Crockett noted that Maine got an "F" grade last year from the State Integrity Investigation, which calls itself "a data-driven analysis of state government transparency and ethics."
The analysis contended that Maine is the fifth-most susceptible state to corruption, based on what the study's authors described as lax legislative accountability and poor lobbying disclosure.
Tardy said he rejects any suggestion that Maine legislative and lobbying ethics are low.
"We're all very well regulated," he said. "It just seems to me that this bill, with all due respect to what this Legislature does with it, is a solution that's looking for a problem."
But in testimony supporting the bill, Ann Luther, advocacy director for the League of Women Voters, said even the appearance of favoritism is reason to impose a waiting period.

Make and model of the dishwasher please. The circuits are not generic, so every one is different.
Hi All
The wife is indicating its time to get a new dishwasher.
Dishes dont seem to be as clean as they used to be.
Ive read all the threads on the topic.
BUT, I have noticed that the rinse agent does not seem to ever need refilling, so , I figured it was plugged.....
I pulled the complete back of the door out, and there is a chamber that holds the liquid rinse agent, but , I can not figure out how that rinse agent is supposed to be injected into the rinse.... there are no apparent ways for the liquid to make it into the dishwasher ...
Has anyone taken one of these apart and do you know how the liquid is dispensed......
Make and model of the dishwasher please. The circuits are not generic, so every one is different.
Thanks for the request
Kenmore Ultrawash
665.15765691 kenmore
Here is the parts diagram and list: http://www.searspartsdirect.com/part...r=665.15765691
It's not clear to me where your part even is on the diagrams. I would imagine that there is a solenoid somewhere that causes the rinsing agent to be sucked out of the reservoir via a venturi.
There is nothing electrical directly attached to the reservoir that I can see......
Has anyone ever taken one of these things apart ?
How old is the dishwasher? When you say things aren't getting clean are you referring to things like particles and such not rinsing off? Or are you seeing etching of clear glass?
The newer dishwashers (last decade or so) seem to have progressively better spray patterns and such. I had an old one that I replaced about 10 years ago after it got to where it wouldn't clean anything. It was probably a worn pump or something as I don't think the spray nozzles/arms were doing much by then. I've since moved several times and it seems that each newer on has been better.
There is some real art & science to getting an effective and even distribution. The spray nozzle angles seem to have been improved and the coverage is much more even. Loading it in a way that actually cleans the dishes is much simpler now.
I also have a Kenmore Elite Dishwasher and my jet dry dispenser doesn't work. I think the liquid is dispensed out the bottom. Mine has a couple of opening under the edge of the dispenser. Mine leaks. If you fill it then in 2 days it is empty and the light is on again. It runs down on the inside of the door and into the tub. Was told that I need the whole dispenser. Comes as one piece for mine--detergent & rinse aid dispenser together.
I just use mine without the rinse aid. The stainless steel tub will be wet sometimes even using heated dry but the dishes are dry, unless it is plastic bowls or cups. Try using the Cascade Complete detergent. This seems to do better for me but then I know people have different water. You can also buy the solid form of jet dry that hangs in the top rack. Cheaper than a new machine if it helps fix your problem...
The dishwasher is 10 yrs old .
I will be buying some cascade and hope that works.
Thanks all
